In his mom's defence, there's very little she could do. She may have seen this coming, but unless she had actual foreknowledge of his plan, she can't exactly call the police and have him arrested for a crime he might commit.Omega wrote:Guys mom says they got the right guy, how f'ed up is that!? If she knew he was this nuts why didn't she do something about him?!

Probably an overreaction, since as far as we can tell, the gunman was a lone nut and not part of some terrorist campaign targeting the movie, but completely understandable nonetheless.
Yes very sad and tragic......i know America has a gun culture, but it still makes one wonder how anyone can just acquire guns, smoke grenades, gas masks etc. Dont the owners in gun shops in the US ask people the reasons for buying these items in the first place?Omega wrote:Holy s**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kristatos wrote:14 people shot dead at TDKR screening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18921492

I really hope this is a joke. It sounds so naff and embarrassing.
they have to pass a background check. If they lie on the application it is a felony (this wold make it illegal to sell them a gun in the future). Mental health issues are supposed to stop a gun sale. there are waiting periods too. The system can work but there are so many places where normally the state drops the ball.English Agent wrote:Yes very sad and tragic......i know America has a gun culture, but it still makes one wonder how anyone can just acquire guns, smoke grenades, gas masks etc. Dont the owners in gun shops in the US ask people the reasons for buying these items in the first place?Omega wrote:Holy s**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kristatos wrote:14 people shot dead at TDKR screening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18921492

I'm going to go to see Batman at least once this weekend wasn't going to but I'm not going to let nuts like this have power over our behavior. He'll be grinning like a fool if he can get copycats and or intimate us from seeing it.Kristatos wrote:I'd rather see armed police around than spend the whole film worrying about some nut with an assault rifle going postal.katied wrote: What happened today makes me sad and sick.

What the hell? is that all that matters to them tdkr did better on a midnight then avengers instead of crazy asshole kills a lot of people where the beeps their priorities, I saw tdkr today in the UK & I heard about this a few hours before, hope this asshole gets time and the death sentence, may the casualties of this incident ripbjmdds wrote:'Dark Knight' midnight take brings in $30.6 mil
Pic off to stronger late-night start than 'Avengers'
By ANDREW STEWART
Under a cloud of the tragic shooting in Colorado, Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight Rises" scored $30.6 million from approximately 3,700 midnight locations, positioning the film solidly for the three days.
Imax contributed $2.3 million of the pic's total late-night gross.
The Batman finale outgrossed its predecessor, which earned $18.4 million from midnights. The pic also got off to a stronger late-night start than "The Avengers," at $18.7 million.
With the pic's positive gross outlook comes the sobering news early this morning of 12 moviegoers shot and killed at a midnight screening of "TDKR" in Aurora, Colo. One man has been arrested.
Warners still won't be celebrating a record opening for "TDKR" based solely on midnight grosses.
If midnights told the whole story, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" -- the reigning late-night champ, with $43.5 million -- easily would still be the biggest three-day domestic opening, at $169 million, not "The Avengers."
As it happens, "TDKR" skews primarily toward adult auds, who typically avoid midnight crowds. That's comparable to "The Dark Knight," which grossed $158 million during its debut sesh. Meanwhile, the three-quel's weekend heights, pegged so far at around $175 million, will depend greatly on adult and some family playability.
"Dark Knight Rises" continued to play during some early morning showtimes; pic launched wide today at 4,404 locations.
